So… I died… And no I’m not joking, I was dead as a doornail, 0BPM, everything, and it’s not like my heart stopped for a few minutes and I was revived, No, I was dead for days…  
But then that suddenly changed when I was awaken from my peaceful slumber by an experiment, And no I’m not joking, I woke up, In a lab, tied to a cold metal table tied down   
with leather straps and machines surrounding me, and a stunning lady in a lab coat standing over me staring at me with a look of gleeful surprise on her face, *“It worked”* she shouts gleefully, My body feels… well just wrong, like I’m inhabiting an already rotting corpse, which to be fair, I kind of was, but it was still weird. I try to get up but the restraints stop me, I continue to struggle, but I don’t feel any pain when I press against the restraints, just pressure, no pain. The woman speaks again *“Now, now, calm down, you were dead for 5 days, don’t expect to be up on your feet anytime soon”* I freeze, 5 Days? How could I have been dead for 5 days and be back up again, I just stare at the scientist with a confused look on my face, she continues *“and don’t strain yourself, It’s already a miracle my experiment worked and I was able to bring you back”* I can’t feel anything but I try to speak, what comes out is broken and raspy, barely audible *“why?”* That one word, that one simple question, the one and only thing I wanted to know; Why?

**Chapter 2**  
*“Why?”* she repeats the question to herself, she is silent for a moment *“for the advance of science”* For the advance of science? That’s all? No ulterior motives? I speak again my voice still raspy *“How?”* her expression falters for a second as she contemplates how much to tell me. *“Science, I used science”* She gestures around the room *“These machines are currently allowing your body to function, along with that I developed a special… Serum”* A serum? The only thing she invented was a serum, and she was able to reverse death? Wait, how did I die? Who am i? I decide to ask the scientist, my voice still raspy and weak, but beginning to get clearer *“Who- Who am I?”* She seems surprised by the question *“Well… I guess you wouldn’t remember right away after being dead for 5 days…”* She types something on her computer then looks back up at me *“you are… Chase hutchinson, 19”* Chase Hutchinson- my name is Chase. I repeat the name *“Chase Hutchinson”* the name feels familiar on my tongue. Suddenly memories come flooding back, my face goes blank as I realize who I am, and how embarrassing the way I died was, I died from shock after hallucinating A was about to be hit by a bus, and that only happened because I spent 3 nights awake in a row in order to get a limited edition video game. My face suddenly turns red as I remember this. Could there be a more embarrassing way to die? The scientist who still hasn’t told me her name sees the look on my face and grins *“remember something?”* I stay silent for a moment then croak *“Did I really die in such an embarrassing way?”* she looks at her computer *“lets see…”* she says as she types on the computer, then she stops and stares at me, Bursting into hysterical laughter *“you- you died from the shock… Of a hallucination\!”* she laughs hysterically almost falling to the ground, after a few moments she regains her composure and stands straight.
